Blood tax

Chapter 380 The Flying Leaf on the Sea of ​​Tranquility ([-])

Was the riot just now launched at the behest of Aaron?Although I didn't see him on the deck, his little follower appeared there, and he was very active...

Griffith left the bridge and walked back to the cabin.

Along the way, he saw students with red and swollen eyes, lips and noses gathered together for cleaning and treatment.Someone barely opened his swollen orange eyes and cursed at the knight:
"Griffith, you actually used tear gas on us, you don't know my family is..."

Before the man finished speaking, Gilles de Ace, a first-year student returning from the same boat, stood up and said resolutely:

"Watch your words. Martial law has been issued, and now the entire ship is to carry out the order of the martial law commander. Any resistance and disrespect will be regarded as hostile acts."

Who is this man with swollen eyes?I don't know each other. Speaking of which, there are still many people in the same grade whose names and appearances I can't match.They didn't interact with me in the Whispering Forest and the Verona incident, and they are generally friendly with the Lamor and Xialong families, and they don't like me. After this experience, the impression will definitely be even worse...

Well, it's not a big deal.I, Griffith, have never tried to please everyone.

Griffith walked towards the shouting nobleman.Fisher, Trotsky, and many students from noble, wizard, and bishop families gathered there, weeping bitterly, washing their eyes, mouth and nose, and taking medicine to reduce swelling.

"What's your name?" Griffith asked the man.

"Huh?" The man froze for a moment, and roared even more angrily, "I am the eldest son of the member of the Arcane Council, Katus Canon, little Katus Canon! You bastard, remember it for me, today's Don’t forget about it, my family will punish you, my father is Katus Ka, a member of the Arcane Council... oh-oh!"

Before little Catus finished speaking, one hand grabbed the bridge of his nose and twisted it to the right!
There was a chilling crisp sound in the air, and the bridge of little Catus's nose was wrenched off, and the blood splattered like a spring, mixed with snot.

"Ah!" The students gathered around screamed like hamsters, and they all backed away.

They saw an elusive phantom in the dark, a hideous living creature was watching them, it was holding a head that showed its achievements, and endless blood was overflowing from the sheath, before dripping on the ground It has been frozen into bright red icicles.

Griffith didn't need to speak or make threats, but a chilling chill gripped his ankles along the floor, dragging a group of young noble heirs into the icy lake that had never been set foot.

"It's him! Griffith de Ravenel, the monster who killed five superhumans in World War I!" An Odessa exchange student belatedly called out, dancing to get up from the floor Flee behind the door.He slipped on the slippery floor, and before he could run two steps, he was picked up by the back of the neck and thrown back into the crowd like a kitten thrown into a cardboard box.

Griffith ignored them and didn't feel the need to explain.He handed it over to Shutoral and Jill on duty, and left.

Offending many classmates in the same grade, many of whom are from famous families, is something that should not be done in normal times.As always, Ms. Marian is unwilling to take responsibility and risks, and Griffith, who is in charge of martial law, should have dealt with it more softly.

However, the current situation is different.For Griffith, only the safety of the Chosen One and Galadia is important right now.

This is not a joyful competition. The reward for the winner is said to have reached the level where any wish can be fulfilled, and the chosen one may even be used as a sacrifice.

Keeping Galadia safe and finding ways to participate in this competition is an undoubted priority.In contrast, any job can give way, or even be temporarily abandoned.Not to mention martial law, which can involve a lot of energy.

The emblem presented by Thalorian has the possibility to replace a chosen one to participate in the competition.During the first round of competition, Griffith was trying to get the right to participate no matter what.The question is, won't other forces take the same action?

All the spirits of Griffith were mobilized.He held down the scabbard with his left hand, and fiddled with the condemned gun pouch with his right hand, the piercing killing intent almost took form behind him.When he walked through the passage of the cabin, he heard the sound of broken glass falling to the ground along the way, and the churning spiritual energy whizzed like a gust of wind.

Many panicked faces poked out from behind the doors and pillars, and after a quick glance they fled back, like little rabbits disturbed by wild cats, their tiny steps disappearing into the distant darkness.

Griffith returned to Sonia's cabin, until here, the atmosphere was normal.

"Why are you so small, what about everyone?" Griffith looked around and found that only Sonia and Fiona were sitting on the sofa, Galadia was maintaining her equipment at the table, Lana was on guard, and Alyosha was groping here and there.

The Countess closed the book and looked at her knights: "Except for Sutoral, who was on duty, the others, under the coordination of Ms. Marianne, went to help those who were unwell due to the tear gas. We are waiting for you here, get ready Discuss the next steps."

Galadia concentrated on adjusting the bowstring, and said without raising her head: "More news has come. The candidates have all been confirmed, with a total of 24 people. It is estimated that the first stage will start shortly after we arrive in Bayeran. "

Time is running out!Griffith's heart skipped a beat.There are densely populated alleys outside the port of Bayeran. If there is an attack there, the situation will be very unfavorable.

"Is it in such a hurry?" Sonia asked suspiciously, "I still don't have a very realistic feeling that there is no fixed venue for such an important competition."

Miss Elf put down her bow and arrow.She has always been agile and lively, and her playful eyebrows and eyes are smeared with seriousness.

"The world is as big as the arena of the gods."

There was a strange silence in the cabin.Everyone was speechless for a while.

"Griffith is so handsome!" Alyosha suddenly jumped to Galadia's side, talking about the situation on the deck, imitating the knight, she waved her slender arms downward, "Dispel."

Griffith looked at her silently for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "Alyosha, where is Neferty?"

"Ah? Meow doesn't know!"

You silly cat, didn't I hand over Neferti to you to keep an eye on!Griffith couldn't help punching his fist.

Galadia put away her equipment and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything I can do with her?"

"Nefty is the younger sister of Naira, one of the chosen candidates, and she may play a very important role." Griffith glanced at Alyosha helplessly and reproachfully. "I need to see her now."

"Okay, meow, go find it! Go and come!" Alyosha rushed out quickly, and ran away with a stab.

There are only five people left in the cabin, Griffith, Galadia, Sonia, Lana and Fiona.

The countess tapped the ground lightly with her toes, as if she had made up her mind: "After we return to Bayeran, let's first investigate the identities of the other chosen ones, especially Aaron, who I always find mysterious. The information of Prince Commodus will also be collected."

Miss Elf nodded gratefully: "Canaan will provide me with clues, but I have a hunch that I need to pay special attention to Aaron's family."

"Why do you say that?"

"The Lundilus family was destroyed under the attack of the unnamed person. There are many missing clues because of the obliteration of records. Even the Canaan side is difficult to provide me with useful information. However, I understand Now, his family territory is not far from Bayeran, we can go there to investigate, maybe we can find hidden clues."

Sonia became interested, and she stood up and clapped her hands, as if all the troubles that bothered her had disappeared.

"Great!"

"It's forbidden here," Griffith patted Sonia's head lightly, and asked Galadia, "Will it be dangerous there? After all, it's that level of fighting, and it may still remain after many years. Danger."

"If I can't resist this danger, I won't be selected," Miss Elf shook her head confidently, "Don't forget, I am the heir to the most prominent family in Canaan, and sooner or later I will be exposed to the mysteries of this world. Elf!"

"We will also provide assistance," Lana pointed to himself and Fiona with a thumbs up. "Don't distract yourself until this matter is settled."

The five-member team, coupled with the support of Canaan and the two earl families, has enough strength to fight against possible threats.Then, the next step is to prepare for the second and third stages.

Griffith was about to explain his plan when Alyosha came running back.

"Nefty is here! Da——da!" The elf girl jumped in, raising her hands high, welcoming Neferti to the stage.However, after a while, the latter did not appear at the door as scheduled.

"Huh?" Alyosha looked back in embarrassment, turned around at the door, and walked back to look at Griffith with a puzzled face, "Where's Neferty?"

"Meow? I just wanted to ask you where you went!" Griffith almost recited it in one breath, "Didn't you bring Neferti?"

"Meow brought it here, just now he was hopping around with his paws~" Alyosha was even more confused, pointed to the door, and looked in the opposite direction, "It's here"

"Maybe it's because of embarrassment," Sonia stood up, and walked lightly to the passage between the cabins, calling, "Miss Kui Mansha, I am"

The Countess's melodious voice stopped abruptly, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Sonia!" Griffith and Galadia rushed over together.They crossed the threshold and saw a deserted and empty corridor.

Alyosha was gone.

Sonia was gone too.
